It's not that I can't. It's just he doesn't have a job. Or any source of income. And he doesn't live here.

They're overcharging me with the regular contract rent and had took away my subsidy(for a year) which had my rent at a rate I could afford. Because they assume he lives here. And since then they left it like that. Then because I was out of work I couldn't pay the 1k they kept adding so the arrears added up. I had public assistance paying it down but I still supposedly owe them 14k. And they recently had lowered my rent back to 230$ which my public assistance has been paying for while I've been looking for work.

I live in subsidized housing, section 8.

The contract rent is 2K.
